Another race stand question - DAVE01 - 18-09-2010
What would be better to buy, a standard type front race stand or a headlift stand for a Busa?
I want to get both front and rear stands but i'm not sure which one to get for the front.
Can you do more front end work with the headlift type? I need to be able to remove both wheels.
Cheers Dave

dave a head lift will give you access to remove the forks which for me is a bonus
RE: Another race stand question - Greeny_SA - 18-09-2010
I'm not sure if anyone makes a headlift stand strong enough to handle
the weight of a busa , I guess someone will know .
RE: Another race stand question - DAVE01 - 18-09-2010
Thanks Kev that's what I was hoping
Not much difference in price either.
Can a Kaneg headlift stand also be used as a standard type front stand?
Dave

There is a clearance issue between the Nose & guard using a head stem stand on the Busa. Does not mean it cant be done but very easy to damage ya bike. Blocks of wood or jacking up the bike a bit first comes to mind.
It is too hard to set up for say just general cleaning but as Kev said great if you wanna remove forks.
Kaneg sell a front stand with the under fork conversion so you can have both for a reasonable price.
BTW I tried it with an anderson stand & not a Kaneg

This is probably the best option for me as I would rarely need the headstand.
Thanks Dave

Dave, have you considered getting a swingarm pivot stand? Have a look at this: http://www.andersonstands.com/other_stands.htm
With that type of stand you can lift the rear of the bike off the ground and then just shove a brick/jack underneath the front, so both ends of the bike will be suspended simultaneously.
RE: Another race stand question - Greeny_SA - 19-09-2010
If you need the front off the ground to remove fork's ect ,you can put a long bolt with a hook on it through the Headstem then use a block & tackle or hydrolic engine hiost .

I do have an electric 1.5 tonne electric hoist/crane in the shed but I wasn't sure how to utilise it with the Bus.I only used to put the Harley's on milk crates LOL
Thanks for all the tips everyone

LOL!
I once suspended my old 78 shovel from the rafters in my pergola. The hardest part was stopping the whole structure from bouncing/rocking when tryin to crack a stubborn nut.
Ahhhhh, ignorance is bliss......

I decided to go down a totaly different path. I fabricated a removeable centre stand the fits via two short bolts to a threaded centre section that fits up where the factory centre stand is supposed to go, (gen 1). I simply lift the bike with the rear race stand, remove the little under faring, bolt the stand to the bike and gently lower it down. The stand can't fall off as it is bolted on and it raises the bike off the ground by about 50mm. This allows access to either wheel and the forks.
